A Golden Promise
Hey guys :D I wrote a little one shot for Rhon during my free time in school. After this I can start working on chapter fics and stuff during class. For now have this lovely fic.
*Features Rhon and Scree, told from Rhon’s perspective primarily *Hints of Jaya, maybe more than hints *Also has lots and lots of Jay. Lots *Mild swearing because Rhon is a hecker *I actually have no idea how making jewelry works, I literally made this up I’m admitting this now, but I’ll fill in that hole with “it’s Rhon’s way”
While “lounging” around in her freetime, Rhon puts on a new task when her nephew brings her news and asks for help with a creation, and perhaps with more.
A Golden Promise
Rhon was having a sort of usual day.
“So, what are you thinking for this one, eh? How much are you gonna rip me off this time?” Her client asked, half joking.
She leaned in. “I told you the price,” she said flatly, but still repeated the obviously fair payment that he was to give her. In return for his vehicle being fixed, he would give her money. That’s how life worked, weirdo.
Scree was perched casually on her shoulder, and he leaned toward the client like her, trying his best to appear intimidating. The eagle fixed him with a piercing stare.
“Alright, alright, I’m jokin’, calm down,” he smiled and waved his hand in a sweeping motion as if to say, “Forget about it.” He readied a bag full of gold coins and tossed it at her.
Scree hopped off from her shoulder and quickly grabbed the bag before it hit her, but the weight of it immediately made him drop to the ground before he could spread his wings enough. He let out a screech.
Rhon looked menacingly toward where her client had just stood, but he was already climbing into his newly fixed vehicle.
“Ninjago should really establish some form of paper money,” she muttered to Scree while picking the bag of gold up from the ground.
To keep property private and all that, Rhon wouldn’t usually do her business while her airship was docked where the ninja’s place of residence was, which at this time was the newly built Monastery. She wasn’t there often. The lack of business, the noise of her companions, and the distance from fresh resources also made for a not-so-beneficial time. But today, she was staying with said companions for the simple reason of wanting to spend time with them. She did care about them, after all.
She and Scree made their way inside her airship, the Grayscale. It was big enough to hold a workshop where she could work on a couple of business and creative projects, a bedroom, a large guestroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a general piloting area atop the deck that contained many control panels filled with levers, buttons, and monitors, and of course the cockpit with a steering wheel. The deck itself was plain, with a few masts with sails enabling its flight. It was maybe two thirds of the size of the ninjas’ many previous models of the Destiny’s Bounty.
She built it herself, with some help from a friend, a long time ago.
Rhon set the bag down on a table in her workshop. She sat down and sorted through the coins, counting up the value. Scree disappeared while she was counting and returned with a couple of lizards in his mouth, settling down on a perch by the table to consume them. Rhon looked down at her calculations. One gold coin short. Figures.
“RhooOOOOON! AUNT RHON! Hi-”
Rhon jumped in her seat, scattering coins all over the table. Scree lifted into the air and let out a surprised shriek. Rhon exhaled and relaxed, but Scree continued to flap in midair, clearly choking on something.
“Scree? Fuck-” Rhon stood out of her seat again, jumping up to grab her bird.
“Aa! Oh no! I’m sorry, ooohhhh no.” It was Jay. He ran over quickly, clearly not really knowing what to do and looking on concerned.
Finally, after a few retches and hits on the back, Scree coughed and a lizard came flying out of his throat. It splatted on a wall.
“That... literally could not have gone worse,” Rhon sighed.
Jay scratched his neck, embarrassed. “I am SO sorry, shoot, I didn’t mean to-”
“Of course you didn’t, don’t get all twisted up,” she interrupted, though frowning. If it was any normal person they would be up to their ears in Rhon’s insults and accusations, but this was Jay. “Just… shake it off.”
Her nephew suddenly brightened up. Scree flapped over and landed on his shoulder, signifying forgiveness. “Okay, okay. I came here to tell yoouuu something great, oh man.”
Rhon crossed her arms and narrowed on of her eyebrows, looking at him curiously. Sure, Jay was enthusiastic and, well, emotional, but him being THIS excited-looking was a rare case. “Alright, what?”
“So, uh, like, you know, Nya.”
“Yes, yes, I know Nya, she’s kind of a close ally of mine,” Rhon said slightly sarcastically. She couldn’t really help it.
“Yeah, yeah, Nya, well. Going to….. I’m going to….. ask her to be my Yang!” Jay revealed enthusiastically.
“Oh wow, really?” Rhon asked, actually surprised. “Wow, uh, congrats!” She awkwardly smiled.
She noticed that her nephew was about ready to jump out of his pants.
“Damn Jay, calm down,” she said a bit forcefully, putting a gentle hand on his shoulder. Rhon knew that her Jay was an expressive person, so something this huge might just have made him explode. “I can barely understand you.”
“Sorry, sorry, just.” He forced himself to stop being so jittery. “I’m…. really excited, and nervous especially.”
No kidding. She stood there looking at him with Scree on his shoulder and thinking it over. Jay and Nya were, at the least, different. That’s what made them special, she thought. The two were quite obviously mad for each other. The reason was, quite simply put, that they had just been through so much. Through suffering and even through death… real death. Young love, am I right? She thought sarcastically. To herself.
“Anyway, um.” Jay chilled down a little bit, becoming much more like himself. “I’m not just telling you the news.”
Rhon raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”
“I really need your help.”
She thought he must have been joking for a second, and was about to say that he got her. But for once he had a serious look on his face. “Wait,” she said after a few moments of silence. “You’re serious?”
“Yeah, of course, I need a charm.”
Rhon let out a huge sigh of relief. “Oh, thank FSM. I thought you meant- oh, nevermind.”
Her nephew stood confused for a while before he burst out laughing. “WHAT? You thought I wanted to ask you to help with the general thing? Like th-the asking and the romance and like, the wooing-”
Rhon wasn’t really used to being made fun of, so she just stood there frowning and rolled her eyes. “Yeah, hell no am I a romantic. Great Garm does that generate a weird image.”
Jay laughed more at her statement. “Oh man I’m just imagining this like, you, but Scree’s kind of flying around in majestic circles,” Scree let out a little noise at the mention of his name, “and your cape is flowing in the wind and you’re going, uh, ‘hey there, sweetheart,’ with a twinkle in your eye or something.”
She started to laugh a little. “Imagine I’m making some sort of a heart made of lightning.”
“Ah, Garm,” he let out his breath, “that’s funny. Wait wait wait, look, you mean like this?”
Jay brought his hands up to his chest and jerked them a little. Lightning flew out of them and formed a fantastic heart shape. His face was twisted in extreme focus.
“Hey, that’s actually really good,” Rhon complimented. She followed, bringing her hands up to her chest, and trying the best in her mind to flex out the bolts. Same jolted off to the side, while others flew up too far.
“Try bending your hands back a bit more,” the blue ninja instructed. “And you gotta focus, which yeah, is really hard, but you can- yeah, there you go!”
Rhon smiled upon seeing herself be able to do the fun trick. She was extremely tempted to bust out a “Hey there, sweetheart,” but as much as she loved her nephew, she retained her dignity.
“You could try this thing out on your girl,” Rhon suggested.
“Ooh, yeah you’re right, that’s a great idea!” He said, accepting her suggestion. “I sure will sometime.”
She rolled her eyes again. “Okay, fun’s over. You wanted the charm, right?”
“Yeah, you know how to make stuff, right?”
“Well, don’t you?”
“Yeah, but I’m not exactly the craft-tsy type. Draw-tsy, sure, but…”
“Bold of you to assume I’m not the same.��
He chuckled a bit.
“Ah, I’m just kiddin’. I’ve made odes of gold from my last fix. I may not be ‘crafty’ but I’ve got an idea. We can try it out.” She ruffled the short boy’s hair and walked off to retrieve a stool from her workshop’s auto-fixing… area… thing. The place where vehicles would go when she worked on them.
She returned to her desk and set the stool beside her chair, making an area of two seats. Rhon looked at the still-scattered coins on the desk. With the help of Scree (Jay was off poking around in her workshop. She let only him and sometimes Nya if they were together do so with the whole ship) she gathered the coins up into a bag.
Rhon readied her smelter and placed a large amount of coins- there not being enough later would be a problem- in it. Finally, some hard clay and carving tools in her hands, she made her way back to her desk.
Jay returned there at the same time and Scree made a perching area out of his head. She placed the glob of clay in front of him, leaving a little for herself. In front of him she also placed a piece of paper and a pen.
She sat down, ready to give him a few hours of her time. “What are your ideas?”
“Well it’s a Yin and Yang charm, obviously,” he replied. “We’ll be making that symbol with the charm. Each part goes to its respective party.” Jay reached for his head and scratched Scree on his neck. The eagle let out a soft churr. “So then maybe we could the elemental signs on each respective part.”
He carefully sketched out the symbol. He drew another circle around it, putting his two lines on one side and Nya’s curvy splash on the other. He labelled his with Yin and hers with Yang.
“Well it’s really nice but also too bland,” he sighed.
“Creativity’s your thing,” Rhon pushed. “Do something with it.”
“Well I can’t just… force myself to do it,” he argued. “Ideas aren’t made, they pop out of thin air, during the wrongest times, like in the shower, or in the middle of making-”
“OKAY, alright, yeah, sorry,” she interrupted, “I just hoped you’d at least have gotten an idea already. How long ago did you start thinking about doing this again?”
“Like a week ago, but in all honesty, there’s so much else to distract me about it, I can hardly think about something as detailed to the situation as charm designs. Like what about the clothes I’ll wear or the way I’ll have to have my hair look on the day I ask.”
As Jay spoke he looked down at his gi, emphasizing his point. His eyes trailed the intricate gold designs of the beautiful dragon that stretched across him. “Oh, wait! Dragons… dragons are really cool.”
Rhon nodded as he sketched down the design onto the paper. “You know, I hate being prodded, but I’m still gonna prod you. You seem a little nervous to do this. ‘Little’ is, ah, relative.”
“YEAH YOU THINK?!” Jay yelled. He seemed to know what to do, as he took the clay and some tools and began carving the shape of a half of the charm, frustratingly digging out the curves and lines. “I mean, what if I’m not really the best. Actually, yeah, I’m not the best, it’s a fact. What am I even doing, I’m not even as strong as Cole, I’m not as smart as Zane. I don’t have near Kai’s looks… those do run in the family… and Lloyd’s leadership abilities and social skills are beyond my ability. And Nya, well she has like, so much of all of those skills. I’m just a rip-off compilation of everyone. And I mean, I have freckles. What cute person has freckles?”
Rhon was taken slightly aback. Very aback, actually. It had been ages since someone had ever expressed such deep negative feelings to her before, since she wasn’t exactly the best giver of advice. When her sister had yelled in distress, she had listened.
When it came to family, she’d still listen.
She made sure her nephew was done and looked at him. “What cute person has freckles?” she mumbled. “I’ll show you what cute person has freckles.”
“Huh?” Jay said. “Nevermind. Stop staring at me like that, you make eye contact as often as I enter a fight without fear.”
“Jesus,” she said, tilting her head and frowning. “You sure know how to put yourself down.”
He suddenly looked as if he regretted everything. His eyes widened in realization, he scrunched back guiltily, and he purposefully looked away, focusing back on his project and saying not another word.
“You know,” Rhon piped up quietly, “I may not be the prettiest woman alive… I mean I’m getting so OLD. And my eyes definitely show how tired I am, and I’m rarely seen smiling. And have you seen this slouch?”
He continued to pick delicate strokes into his clay. “Old, huh? Thirty is old…”
“But when I was a kid, and I grew up with your mother, I thought she was the prettiest person alive. Us Staticholders valued beauty and wealth, so the way I was raised should really show how right I was. And you’ve seen your father, yeah? Up on the big screen, bein’ that cool, hot mess, famous n’ all. And though not nice-looking myself, I have a say in the matter for sure. And what I will say is that you’re a perfect mix of the two. You are the hottest kid on this side of Ninjago.”
He smiled a little bit. “Yeah, yeah, I guess that makes me feel a little better.” Scree flew off his head and landed behind his carved cast, cooing at him.
“And even if you had the grossest, most repulsive face in the history of every creature alive, your heart of gold wins above everything. You care so much about all your friends, and definitely about your girlfriend, and that’s all that matters.”
“And don’t forget you, you crazy old geezer,” he snickered.
“Oh yeah? Call me a geezer one more time and I’ll kick your ass,” she laughed, standing up off her chair and plunging her hands into his hair, messing it up in the everlasting aunt move of rufflement.
“Geezer, geezer, geezer,” he prodded.
“Oh you’re just asking for it!” she yelled, messing it up even more.
They settled down and she patted his head in a finishing touch.
“Okay,” Rhon said, “One more thing. What the hell is up with the freckle thing?”
Her nephew chuckled and shyly answered, “Ah, yeah, sorry, didn’t mean to offend you or anything..”
“Freckles, dear Jay, are like the beauty spots of the waking world. Nobody hates freckles. They are a damn blessing.” She tugged on the wraps on one of her arms and wrapped it off quickly.
“Holy shit,” he marveled, seeing her freckle-invaded arm.
Rhon gasped and smacked him upside the head.
“What was that for-?”
“You don’t just say shit like that!”
“But you do- you JUST-”
“Just because it’s me, doesn’t mean it should be you,” Rhon growled.
“Aw, come on,” Jay was smiling, an eyebrow narrowed. “I’m VERY grown-up.”
“The minute you say grown-up you lose the ability to BE grown up,” she commented back. “But anyway. How is your charm coming along?”
He picked it up and placed it in front of her. It was very intricately carved, a dragon with the dot in its jaw in line with the flow of the shape.
“Okay, good,” she said. “Now we have to put this in the oven so it hardens.”
~
Scree A. Buckbeak III soared above the monastery on his midday hunt. His independence from Rhon was only certain times, usually in the relaxation periods of the day. Relaxation for her, that is. He flapped down to perch on the roof. His claws scraped the fresh brick, still so smooth and perfect because of how recent the monastery had been rebuilt. He twitched his head sideways so that his eye faced the commotion of the humans below.
A newly-old-bodied Sensei Wu sipped some tea under the shade below. In the shade beside him, Rhon leaned against an outer wall. Wu put the teacup down and closed his eyes in a focused thought.
In the blazing sun, six brightly-dressed ninja were already standing aside, weary. They had already grown tired of their previous excitement for the brand new training equipment, and as it moved and mechanized in the searing heat, they whined.
“But Sensei,” Jay, Scree’s favorite, argued. “We’re already so… trained up and old and learned. Do we have to still..?”
“Yeah,” the red one agreed. “Isn’t there better things to fight around the island somewhere?”
The green one stepped forward, looking a little reluctant. “I’m afraid I have to agree with them, Sensei. Why train on useless things when we could be saving people and fighting crime out there?”
Wu opened one eye, gazing at the ninja. “I am quite aware that you wish to be the heroes of every crime in Ninjago,” he replied, “however not every nuisance needs a ninja.”
Scree turned his head and scratched the back of his neck with his claw. As the ninja began to train like police dogs the sun sunk lower into the afternoon, lengthening their shadows across the course.
He watched as Jay stumbled over to the girl, exhaustion evident in every one of his limbs. “The FSM is merciless,” he groaned.
She giggled and patted his back. “What happened to all that spunk you always had after hours of working?”
“It’s just not the same anymore,” he replied, smiling. “I don’t feel like a student anymore. This is basically a profession. We’re on the end of eighteen.”
“Come on,” she said, but her hopes looked like they fell a little. If Jay was the most positive ninja, him being negative usually meant a real emergency. “Just because we’re a lot older doesn’t mean we have to be so serious all the time. We can work without the weight of people’s lives or possessions in our hands, and just have fun like we used to.”
“That’s much deeper advice than I signed up for, Nya,” he joked. “I’m just… tired.”
“We always are, but we gotta keep pushing,” she responded. She lowered her voice. “Especially because of old guy and old guy junior over there.”
They both laughed, glancing over to where Wu and Lloyd were working on moves.
“Think they’ll care if we just run and ditch the rest of the day?” She asked.
“Oh, yeah. We’ll be in trouble, big time,” Jay answered.
“What’s life without a little risk?”
“No, seriously. Let’s not.”
“Okay. Well in that case, let’s do what we have to!” she quickly kissed him on the cheek before jumping up and getting in a position with her weapon.
With renewed strength, Jay too jumped into action, facing her, ready.
The two worked like magic, in and out, back and forth. Fighting against each other was a rare thing for them now, that was sure. It was different from fighting alongside each other. They knew each other’s moves to well and rarely struck.
Scree hopped off the roof and flew away to hunt again.
    ~
After the clay had been heated, hardened, cooled, carved, and all the works, the gold had been poured and set out to cool the same, twice. Rhon slid the second golden half from the cast, handing it to Jay for him to ink in some black designs.
“Can’t believe you’re really growing up, buddy,” she commented as he focused on the intricate patterns.
“Don’t be nice, it’s creepy,” Jay said, but smiled. He put the inking instrument down and smiled as he looked at the two halves. He picked them both up in his hands, studying them as if he were an archaeologist studying an artifact. They were precious to him.
He looked up. “Thanks to the ends of Ninjago, aunt Rhon,” he said slightly nervously. “I’m actually really glad I was able to think of things and you know. Make it myself.”
“It’s all gotta be from the heart,” she pointed to her chest.
Scree soared in through a window and greeted Rhon with a nuzzle after landing on her shoulder. She patted his head.
“Now get outta here, kid. Show her how much she means to ya.”

Professional Dancers - Bruiseshipping (Jay x Cole) One-Shot
You guys may remember me mentioning this a few weeks ago, and it’s finally here! Big thanks to @xxwhisperapplexx for beta-ing it! Hope you enjoy!
Title: Professional Dancers
Franchise: Ninjago
Pairing: Bruiseshipping (Jay x Cole)
Summary: While searching for Master Wu, Jay and Cole decide to spend the night at a village celebrating the day it as created. The music is loud enough for them to hear from their distant cabin, and they have no choice but to dance along to it... Right?
Word count: 1,634
Read this on AO3 and FFN!
Searching for Master Wu was neither easy nor pleasant. The team was seperated, there was no way to know if Wu was even alive… At the very least, Jay and Cole were together.
Although the two friends didn't look like they'd get along at first sight, they completed one another. They were each other's hope throughout their struggle, and their only reassurance.
It was because of that they were able to loosen up a bit in-between their duties. The loss of their sensei was a hard-to-swallow pill, but the elemental masters of lightning and earth would be lying if they said they didn't enjoy being on their own for such a long period of time.
Jay didn't possibly think he could learn more about Cole than he already did - he was his best friend, after all - but he did. Right when he thought he could write a full novel on Cole's life, the master of earth popped up with another story, making it a trilogy.
It was safe to say that no one knew Cole better than Jay, and no one knew Jay better than Cole.
The two friends weren't always lucky with their journey. Sometimes they'd have to camp outside at night, and others they'd be close to a village and book a room. Thankfully, it was the second one's turn.
There was some sort of festival happening. It was a local thing, celebrating the day the village was created. There was music, food stands, lanterns… It seemed like a nice place to stop and relax for a bit.
Jay and Cole didn't stay at the festival for too long - after all, they had a long day ahead of them - but they enjoyed seeing the simplicity of the people again.
They were more than lucky to find a spare room on the day of the celebration. Thankfully there was a spare small house right outside the village, which they were able to rent thanks to a kind old lady at the food stand who overheard them talking.
There was nothing Jay enjoyed more than a warm bed to sleep in. He had gotten used to the sleeping bag at that point, but it could never replace the bed.
Jay took out his shoes and let his body fall behind, and bounce on the bed's mattress. He couldn't help but smile.
"I'm guessing you already called dibs on that bed?" Cole asked, locking the door.
"I think it might even be better than the one back home!" Jay said, sitting up. "This is such a cozy house. I wish we could just stay here."
"You know we can't," Cole said, leaning against the wall, "but I'd like that too."
Jay sighed. He already knew that they couldn't stay, but the thought of going out there, looking for Master Wu… It exhausted him.
The master of lightning stood on his feet, walking over to the window to let some air in. His thoughts disappeared when his ear caught the sound of the distant music from the village.
"Looks like we're going to have some entertainment." Cole smiled.
Jay turned around, grinning mischievously. "Too bad there's not a professional dancer here to add up to it."
Cole shook his head. "Hey, I'm nothing close to a professional!"
"You went to dancing school, that makes you a professional," Jay winked at him. "And did you forget all about that 'triple tiger sashay' move? You were the first one to do it!"
"As if you couldn't do it. It's just acrobatics!" Cole said. "Very precise acrobatics… But still acrobatics!"
"Only a professional dancer would use the word 'acrobatics'," Jay joked, making Cole groan. "Come on, you can't just listen to all this music and do nothing!"
"Isn't that what you're doing right now?" Cole raised an eyebrow.
Almost instantly, Jay made a very silly pose which could be described with anything but dancing. "How's this for an epic dance move?"
"This looks like some training exercise Wu would want us to do," Cole chuckled.
"Sorry, my friend was too embarassed of me to show me how to dance," Jay smirked, crossing his arms.
It was then that Cole broke into some of his favourite dance moves, following the rhythm and moving all around the room.
Jay couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't that Cole was bad; it was that he was amazing.
Without a second thought, Jay joined Cole in their limited dance floor. Jay knew he wasn't a great dancer, but he didn't care. Jumping around the room and trying to copy his friend's moves made him happy, and he knew that it made Cole happy too.
It had only been a few minutes, but it felt like an eternity. Dancing, laughing, yelling… Never in his life would Jay have imagined he would be enjoying his time doing all that as much as his did.
An eternity with Cole didn't sound half bad.
It seemed like the festival had been close to its end, because the music died out after a while. Suddenly it was just Jay and Cole in that isolated cabin, looking at each other from across the room.
"I guess there's no more music for tonight," Cole said.
Jay let out a nervous chuckle. "Too bad there's no professional singer-"
"I am not singing, Jay."
"I know, I know," Jay looked down, breaking eye contact. For some reason he couldn't move, so he tried to focus on the wrinkles of the wooden floor instead.
The sound of footsteps caught Jay by surprise, and the sight of Cole right in front of him when he looked up was even more surprising.
Jay gazed into Cole's eyes, his body completely still and shaky at the same time. His heart beat fast, his thoughts ran fast, his-
"Move over so I can close the window?" Cole said, pointing behind Jay.
A new feeling filled Jay's body. Was it relief? Was it disappointment? He didn't know.
"Oh," Jay took a step to the side. "Right."
He couldn't help but glance at Cole as he pulled down the shutters. He couldn't understand his feelings. He couldn't understand why a simple action, like an everyday thing, made him feel so intrigued.
Ever since that journey started, Jay had been feeling this way around Cole, and the fact that he knew exactly what it was scared him. It was the exact same feeling he had once felt for Nya before they broke up, and now he was feeling it for his best friend.
Jay tried so hard to make it stop. To do the opposite of what he did with Nya, to stay quiet and not flirt, to hide the feelings inside of him.
He was doing fine before when they were dancing, why did closing a godamn shutter make him feel so-
"I don't know where we should go."
The music had long stopped, but Cole was only starting. Jay blinked, the sight of Cole facing the now closed window becoming clear.
"Just feeling farther from our goal."
Jay felt every hair on his body rise, and every beat of his heart slow down. Cole's voice wasn't perfect nor trained, but there was something special about hearing the one you love sing.
"I don't know what path we will be shown."
The one you love.
"But I know that when I'm with you I'm at home"
He was in love with Cole.
"Yes, I know that when I'm with you I'm at-" Cole cut himself off as his voice cracked. "Okay, that's all I'm singing."
Jay was biting on the inside of his cheek as hard as he could, but not hard enough to make it bleed. His eyes were wide open, locking on Cole's with what looked like curiosity, admiration.
Not even the warmth of Cole's body could make Jay's frozen one move.
"Jay…?"
"I liked that," Jay finally spoke up, biting half his words. "The way you say my name- I, I mean, the way you sing! My name is fine too though, but I meant to say song… Sing? Song? I, I like both."
"Thanks," Cole said with a tint of nervousness that Jay was unable to notice, "I think?"
"I just," Jay took a sudden step forward, "I really wanna kiss you right now."
Jay couldn't believe he said that.
He absolutely couldn't believe he had just said that.
There was nothing he could do though. He just waited, for either a miracle to happen, or his friendship with the person that was closest to him to be ruined. Either way it was a slap in the face, which Jay needed right now.
There was a moment of silence, but Jay's beating heart blocked out any feeling of awkwardness in the air. He had no idea how Cole felt, because he couldn't think. He couldn't focus on anything, he couldn't breathe-
"Then do it."
Cole's voice came out as music to Jay's ears, even more melodic than the one playing before. It took him a moment to realise what Cole had just said, and even more to think of how to do it.
Before he knew it, he was trapped between the wall and Cole, their faces drawing closer every second that passed.
Jay loved everytime their eyes locked, but nothing could describe the feeling of their lips locking. It was sweet, warm, soft… It was perfect.
They pulled away, eyes locking once more.
Jay could see the slight blush on Cole's cheeks, and the shine in his green eyes… He could even see himself through them, and his condition wasn't much different.
He wanted to say something, anything, but no words came out. "That was-"
"Damn Jay," Cole interrupted him, trying to hold back a smile. "You didn't tell me you were a professional kisser."
